Although shoppers noticed “overnight results” with the Dots for Spots patches, there’s absolutely no beauty magic involved. Instead, the patches are made with hydrocolloid, an ingredient used in wound dressing to prevent infection and promote healing. This active ingredient sucks out the gunk hiding in your pores, leaving behind a clearer, less-inflamed patch of skin. To buy: From $9; amazon.com. The patches are made to appear translucent on the skin and can be worn overnight or for up to eight hours. If you’re unsure when exactly to remove the patch, just look for the translucent center to change to a shade of opaque white. Dots for Spots uses a vegan, non-irritating patch that should be tolerated by all skin types and offers packs of 24 or 60 dots. As an added bonus, since your pimple is safely tucked beneath the patch, you’ll be less likely to pick and pop at the blemish, which can promote the spread of bacteria. The brand says that its patches will generally work to clear even the most inflamed of pimple areas, but if you notice a worsening redness or feel concerned about the current state of your pimple, you may want to consult with a dermatologist. Another shopper, who tried the patches after seeing them on TikTok, was astounded by the results, and wrote that “they really work.” Get to covering and healing your zits by ordering the Dots for Spots Acne Stickers today.
